Why are people on YA! so mean?

I mean you ask a simple question and someone automatically finds a way to be a jerk about it. Can you guys say something nice? Thanks!

    i know... but everywhere you find mean people sadly

    there are more mean people than down to earth kind people unfortunately

    that just says what our world is like today... =[

    where is the love?

    ps you seem very nice don't let these stupid people who obviously don't have lives get to you. You will never meet them anyway..but think about it. How sad is it that they sit home trying to make someone they don't even know feel bad? That in my opinion is kinda low... so don't think twice about it. Hope you have a good rest of the evening and a great friday! =]

    I think people are mean in some questions because they don't know the person that they are answering for and know that they are never going to see them. But it is nice to be nice and if they are not going to say something nice they may aswell not say anything at all to be honest. Don't take what some people say tp heart.

    People often say things they would never say in real life when they can hide behind the anonymity of an online profile.

    Have you found people are more helpful/nice on other sites?

  • INO it sooooooooo annoying i agree with you i wish people on Y!A would be nice! dont worry SO many people were like that to me when i asked a question but i just report them and block them! =)

    trolls...blame it on them. everyone else does

    hmm i see some nice people around. i mean sure some may joke around(like me-at times) but i don't say anything to be mean...some people are over sensitive i guess.....good luck and hope the trolls don't get you.
